There is no record in my Department of the receipt of an application for a house improvement grant from the person named. There is, however, an application from a person with the same Christian name but a different surname from the same address. A grant in respect of major necessary works to the basic fabric of the house cannot be allowed in this case because, contrary to a qualifying condition of the scheme, the work had commenced before an inspection of the house was carried out. Neither could grants for the building of a chimney and the provision of water and sewerage facilities be allowed as my Department's inspector reported that these facilities were already in existence in the house. The applicant has been so informed.

There has been no undue delay in this case. The file is with the inspector for early investigation and report with a view to payment of a grant. Payment of the mortgage subsidy will not commence until the grant has been paid, at least six months have elapsed from the date of execution of the mortgage deed, and the person named submits the claim form duly completed and certified by the lending agency.
